Any particular soap? I have heard Baby Soap or Dish Soap is ideal.
Sorry, I didn't see this I guess! I actually use dawn and just squirt the soap right on the bale then water it. it might depend on your water. I have pretty hard water. I squirt a few lines back and forth and just water. if you have hot water it will wet better than cold water, too.
